“…Ma'ruf et al surveyed the relationships among environmental knowledge, attitudes and intended behaviour of students at three universities in Padang, Jakarta and Denpasar, Indonesia (Ma'ruf, Surya, & Apriliany 2016). While their results showed that students had good knowledge about the environment, there were only two questions on this in their survey.…”

This quote from the World Bank is about Indonesia, and seems an accurate description of the situation in Indonesia, but in fact we know very little about environmental values and awareness in Indonesia. There are almost no statistical data on perceptions of the environment or of environmental awareness in Indonesia. Given the many urgent environmental problems in Indonesia, this lacuna is quite serious. The research reported on in this paper is one of the outcomes of a large research project which aimed to see how education could help develop environmental awareness in Indonesia. 1 10 The structure of the Indonesian education system is described in (Jackson & Parker 2008).

“…Sharing these ideas are part of GPOCP's routine environmental education and conservation awareness activities. However, attitude is not the only factor that determines whether an individual behaves in an environmentally friendly manner (Ma'ruf et al ., ). We believe that financial concerns are likely a stronger factor in dictating environmental behaviors of our target communities than attitude.…”

“…GPOCP's general theory of change (ToC; Dhillon & Vaca, ) underlying our environmental education programs is that as participant knowledge and attitudes about wildlife increase, then they will change their behavior to become more conservation‐friendly (Jacobson, ). A previous study on environmental knowledge and attitudes of university students from Sumatra, Java, and Bali, Indonesia, found that knowledge was a significant predictor of environmental attitudes, and that positive attitudes do contribute to behavior change (Ma'ruf, Surya & Apriliany, ). Some potential examples of behavior change in GPOCP's ToC include the adoption of deforestation‐free livelihoods and the reporting of wildlife crime to law enforcement by participants (and their families, in the case of young students).…”

Environmental education is a cornerstone of many wildlife conservation programs, and measuring the impact of such education initiatives is imperative for evaluating their effectiveness in achieving conservation goals. For over 15 years, the Gunung Palung Orangutan Conservation Program (GPOCP) has been working to protect wild Bornean orangutans Pongo pygmaeus wurmbii living in and around Gunung Palung National Park in West Kalimantan, Indonesia. In 2015, we carried out a series of six Environmental Education Expeditions to communities in the remote districts surrounding the Park, engaging 1519 elementary (n = 770) and junior/senior high school (n = 749) students across 24 schools. Before and after engaging with our environmental education activities students were given surveys to assess their knowledge about and attitudes toward orangutans. We found that our educational activities led to 13.6-40.4% increases in student knowledge about orangutans and substantial shifts toward more positive attitudes about conservation, but that many students do not believe that they personally can make a difference. Empowerment may be a key need to link wildlife education to environmental action.

Therefore, based on previous studies (Noor, Jamil, Mat, Mat, Kasim, Muhammad & Salleh, 2012;Taufique, Siwar, Chamburi & Sarah, 2015;Kim, Kim & Thapa, 2018;Ma'ruf, Surya & Appriliany, 2016;Zheng, Xu, Kong, Deng & Lin, 2018), there is a positive influence that Objective Knowledge to Environment Attitude. H5: There is a positive relation between Objective Knowledge and Environmental Attitude Relationship between Subjective Knowledge and Product Attitude Hadar, Sood & Fox (2013) obtained that the subjective knowledge of consumer is strongly connected to product related experience.…”
